Rhos Crug Round Barrows is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument located in Radnorshire, Wales, comprising multiple burial mounds that reflect the ritual and ceremonial practices of prehistoric communities in the region. The barrows represent an important expression of mortuary behaviour spanning the Neolithic through Bronze Age periods, demonstrating the continuity of funerary traditions across several millennia in upland Wales. The site's designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological significance in understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and religious observance in the Welsh borderlands. The physical remains consist of earthen mounds that would originally have contained inhumations and associated grave goods, though like many such monuments, the barrows have been subject to erosion and land-use changes over the intervening millennia.
